Big Storage with Drobo Ease Easily add up to 24TB of storage to a workstation or small office server without having to learn anything about storage administration. Just insert up to 8 disk drives into the Drobo Pro & the innovative Beyond RAID technology takes care of the rest. Drobo Pro is ideal for creative professionals, such as photographers & videographers, who have large amounts of rich media to store & protect. Also, Drobo Pro is an excellent alternative to internal RAID for a single server. Up to 8 Disks of Instant Expansion to 24TB & Beyond Grow your storage in line with your data capacity needs with minimal effort. To add capacity, simply insert a new hard disk drive or replace your smallest drive with a larger one, even when all eight drive bays are full. Unlike traditional RAID systems, the Beyond RAID technology in Drobo Pro enables you to mix & match disk brands, capacities, & speeds. This enables continuous expansion as drive capacities grow. With Drobo Pro expansion is automatic & instantaneous & access to data is always maintained. Protection from Two Drive Failures Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure of up to two hard drives. It's all done with a single click & without ever losing access to your data. Running out of space? Switch back to single-drive redundancy at any time. Unlike moving between traditional RAID 5 & RAID 6, there's no need to reformat or migrate data from Drobo Pro, potentially saving you hours or days of downtime. Triple Interface Featuring i SCSI Attach Drobo Pro directly to a workstation or small office server that requires high-capacity, protected storage. Interface options include Gigabit Ethernet (using i SCSI protocol), Fire Wire 800, & USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0, with i SCSI providing the highest level of performance. Unfamiliar with i SCSI? It's a high performance protocol that's become extremely popular for storage technology in IT environments, but it can often be complex to manage. Drobo Pro changes that by introducing zero-click i SCSI configuration for both Windows & Mac OS X. Smart Volumes with Thin Provisioning Create new volumes in seconds & manage up to 16 x 16TB volumes over time with ease. The innovative & time-saving Smart Volume management technology with Thin Provisioning integrated into Drobo Pro allows volumes to pull storage from the common pool of disks rather than a specific physical disk allocation. The labor of resizing & migrating volumes is replaced with the simplicity of intelligent engineering. Rack Mount Ready, Desktop Quiet Drobo Pro is equally at home in a rack mount environment as it is on your desktop. Dual smart fans automatically manage their speeds to optimize both cooling & operating noise. (Drobo Pro rack mount sold separately.)
